Now we know why Soundgarden cancelled their Sasquatch headlining date, don’t we? We did we ever bitch and moan up in here when we saw the tour schedule of co-headliners Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden. Of course we did–how on earth could they just omit Seattle?? Turns out, they didn’t!

Nine Inch Nails and Soundgarden are teaming up for a North American tour that will kick off onSaturday, July 19, at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, NV. The co-headline run, presented by Live Nation, is their first outing together and will include shows at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO (July 21), the Nikon at Jones Beach Theatre in Wantagh, NY (August 1) and the Hollywood Bowl in Hollywood, CA (August 25). Both bands will play full sets nightly. Special guest Death Grips will open on most dates.

Tickets for the White River Amphitheatre date will go on sale to the public Friday, May 9, through the Live Nation mobile app and at www.livenation.com. Thefan pre-sale begins Monday, May 5 at 10am local time at www.nin.com and www.soundgardenworld.com, with additional pre-sales going live on Tuesday, May 6.

CBS decided they needed to pimp out LL Cool J some more, as he hosted the nominations special for the 2014 Grammy Awards. There were performances from Macklemore, Taylor Swift and Robin Thicke, all nominees of course. I can’t say there were any big snubs, but i’m sure some people’s fans are mad anyways. Jay Z lead the nominations with nine, and was followed closely behind by the likes of Pharrell Williams and Kendrick Lamar with seven. The ladies weren’t completely shut out, Rihanna and Katy Perry both got some Grammy love.
